# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * general changes:
4        - Fixed compiler error in Pool.h.
5        - Require C++14 compiler support.
6        - Autoconf: Added m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 macro which is used
7          for checking in configure for C++14 support (as mandatory
8          requirement) and automatically adds compiler argument if required
9          (e.g. -std=C++14).
10        - RTMath: Implemented floating point comparison methods
11          fEqual32(float,float) and fEqual64(double,double) which take the
12          expected floating point tolerances into account.
13    
14      * Real-time instrument scripts:
15        - Added method ScriptVM::setExitResultEnabled() which allows to
16          explicitly enable the built-in exit() function to optionally accept
17          one function argument; the value of the passed exit() function
18          argument will then become available by calling
19          VMExecContext::exitResult() after script execution.
20        - 64 bit support for NKSP integer scripts variables (declare $foo).
21        - Variable names, function names and preprocessor condition names must start
22          with a regular character (a-z or A-Z); starting them with a digit or
23          underscore is not allowed.
24        - NKSP parser fix: equal comparison operator "=" and not equal comparison
25          operator "#" must only accept integer operands.
26        - NKSP language: Implemented support for standard units like Hertz, seconds,
27          Bel including support for metric unit prefixes; so one can now e.g.
28          conveniently use numbers in scripts like "5us" meaning "5 microseconds",
29          or e.g. "12kHz" meaning "12 kilo Hertz", or e.g. "-14mdB" meaning
30          "minus 14 Millidecibel", or e.g. "28c" meaning "28 cents" (for tuning).
31        - NKSP language: Introduced "final" operator "!" which is specifically
32          intended for synthesis parameter values to denote that the synthesis
33          parameter value is intended to be the "final" value for that synthesis
34          parameter that should explicitly be used by the engine and thus causing
35          the sampler engine to ignore all other modulation sources for the same
36          synthesis parameter (like e.g. LFO, EG); by simply prefixing a value,
37          variable or formula with this new "!" operator the expression is marked as
38          being "final".
39        - NKSP script editor API: Added support for detecting standard unit tokens
40          and their potential metric prefix token.
41        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number literals and
42          arithmetic operations on them (e.g. "(3.9 + 2.9) / 12.3 - 42.0").
43        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) script
44          variables (declare ~foo).
45        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) array
46          script variables (declare ?foo[]).
47        - Built-in script function "message()" accepts now real number argument as
48          well.
49        - Added built-in script function "real_to_int()" and its short hand form
50          "int()" for casting from real number to integer in NKSP scripts.
51        - Added built-in script function "int_to_real()" and its short hand form
52          "real()" for casting from integer to real number in NKSP scripts.
53        - Allow built-in exit() function to potentially accept real number type
54          argument as well.
55        - Built-in script functions may have a different return type depending on
56          the arguments passed to the function.
57        - Built-in script function "abs()" optionally accepts and returns real
58          number.
59        - Built-in script functions "min()" and "max()" optionally accept real
60          number arguments and return real number as result in that case.
61        - NKSP VM API: Allow units and 'final'ness to be returned as result from
62          built-in functions (added methods VMFunction::returnUnitType() and
63          VMFunction::returnsFinal() for that purpose which must be implemented by
64          built-in function implementations).
65        - NKSP language: Allow metric unit prefixes of numeric scalar and array
66          variables to be changed freely at runtime (unlike unit types like Hz etc.
67          which are still sticky, parse-time features of variables which cannot be
68          changed at runtime for the intentional sake of determinism).
69        - NKSP language: 'final' values are prohibited for array variables for now
70          (attempt causes a parsers error).
71        - NKSP language: expressions with unit types (e.g. Hz) are prohibited for
72          conditions of runtime control structures like if(), while(), select()
73          (attempt causes a parser error).
74        - NKSP VM API: Allow built-in functions to perform their own, individual
75          parse time checks of arguments going to be passed to the function at
76          runtime (added method VMFunction::checkArgs() for that purpose).
77        - NKSP language: raise parser warning if only one operand of binary
78          operators (like logical 'or' comparison) contain a 'final' value (because
79          it would always yield in a 'final' result in such cases).
80        - NKSP language: Allow comparison (=, #, <, >, <=, >=) of values with
81          different metric unit prefixes, which will behave as expected (e.g.
82          result of expression '1000us < 2ms' is true).
83        - NKSP language: Allow adding values with different metric unit prefixes
84          (e.g. result of expression '100Hz + 5kHz' is '5100Hz').
85        - NKSP language: Allow subtracting values with different metric unit
86          prefixes (e.g. result of expression '1ms - 20us' is '980us').
87        - NKSP language: Allow multiplying with any metric unit prefixes
88          (e.g. result of expression '2k * 3ms' is '6s'), however multiplications
89          with unit types on both sides (e.g. '2s * 2s') is still prohibited since
90          we don't have any considerable practical use for a term like '4s^2'
91          (hence any attempt multiplying two unit types still causes parser error).
92        - NKSP language: Allow dividing by any metric unit prefixes and allow
93          division of same unit type on both sides (e.g. expression '8kHz / 1000Hz'
94          yields in unit free result '8'). So this is now a way to cast units away
95          e.g. for passing the result to other expressions, certain function calls
96          or variables which are not accepting any units (or that specific unit).
97        - NKSP language: integer arrays and real number arrays can now be converted
98          to strings (e.g. for dumping their content with message() calls for
99          script debugging purposes).
100        - NKSP language: expressions and variables with units are now correctly
101          casted to strings (e.g. with message() calls).
102        - NKSP language: comparing real numbers for equalness (e.g. '~foo = 3.1') or
103          unequalness (e.g. '~foo # 3.1') is now less strict and takes the expected
104          floating point tolerances into account.
105        - NKSP VM API: Added methods VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastInt() and
106          VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastReal().
107        - NKSP VM API: Added base class 'VMNumberArrayExpr' for classes
108          'VMIntArrayExpr' and 'VMRealArrayExpr'.
109        - NKSP VM API: replaced all unitPrefix() (parse time) methods by
110          unitFactor() (runtime) methods.
111        - Built-in function "exit()" supports now returning units and 'final'ness
112          for test cases.
113        - The following built-in functions support now units as well: "abs()",
114          "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
115          "real_to_int()", "int()", "int_to_real()" and "real()".
116        - Built-in functions "array_equal()", "search()" and "sort()" support now
117          real number arrays (correctly) as well.
118        - Added individual parse time checks of arguments to be passed to built-in
119          functions "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
120          "array_equal()" and "search()" specific for their individual purposes.
121        - NKSP VM refactoring: Renamed all methods, functions and classes matching
122          pattern *ScalarNumber* to simply *Number* (that is i.e. classes
123          VMScalarNumberExpr -> VMNumberExpr, ScalarNumberExpr -> NumberExpr,
124          ScalarNumberVariable -> NumberVariable, ScalarNumberBinaryOp ->
125          NumberBinaryOp, VMScalarNumberResultFunction -> VMNumberResultFunction,
126          method VMExpr::asScalarNumberExpr() -> VMExpr::asNumber(), function
127          isScalarNumber() -> isNumber()).
128        - NKSP VM API: Added 4 overridden methods to class VMNumberExpr:
129          evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t),
130          evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t)
131          as convenient methods for automatically converting values to expected
132          metric value basis.
133        - Built-in function "wait()" accepts now both integers and real numbers as
134          argument.
135        - NKSP VM API cleanup: Get rid of legacy method
136          VMFunction::argType(vmint iArg) which was already superseded by its new
137          replacement VMFunction::acceptsArgType(vmint iArg, ExprType_t type).
138        - NKSP parser: if wrong argument type was passed to a built-in function and
139          that built-in function accepts more than one data type for the argument,
140          then show all supported data types as parser error message.
141        - Built-in function "play_note()" accepts now real numbers and seconds as
142          unit type as well for its 3rd and 4th function arguments.
143        - The following built-in functions accept now real numbers as well for their
144          2nd function argument: "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_cutoff()",
145          "change_attack()", "change_decay()", "change_release()",
146          "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_attack()", "change_cutoff_decay()",
147          "change_cutoff_sustain()", "change_cutoff_release()",
148          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
149          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()",
150          "change_pan_time()", "fade_in()", "fade_out()", "change_play_pos()".
151        - Fixed built-in function "change_play_pos()" not having accepted metric
152          prefixes at all.
153        - Fixed the following built-in functions having misinterpreted values given
154          with unit type (for their 2nd argument) as if they were relative values
155          (that is as if they were passed without a unit type): "change_attack()",
156          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
157          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()".
158        - Fixed the following built-in functions having applied completely wrong
159          'final' values: "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_sustain()" (since the
160          respective EGs being their modulation sink assume uint data type with
161          value range 0..1000 instead of 0.0..1.0.
162        - Added individual parse-time checks of function arguments for the following
163          built-in functions: "play_note()", "note_off()", "set_event_mark()",
164          "delete_event_mark()", "by_marks()", "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
165          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
166          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()",
167          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
168          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()" and
169          "change_pan_time()".
170        - Don't abort function call if unit type was used and at the same time
171          'final' operator was omitted for the primary value argument of the
172          following built-in functions: "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
173          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
174          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()",
175          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
176          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()",
177          "change_pan_time()", instead imply 'final'ness at runtime and raise an
178          appropriate parser warning at parse time.
179        - Added built-in real number functions "round()", "ceil()", "floor()",
180          "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()", "sin()",
181          "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
182        - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_PI".
183        - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_E".
184    
185      * test cases:
186        - Fixed compiler errors in test cases.
187        - Updated README for how to compile & run test cases.
188        - Updated test case
189          MutexTest::testDoubleLockStillBlocksConcurrentThread() to latest
190          expected behaviour of the Mutex class implementation (recursive
191          mutex type).
192        - Added test cases for NKSP core language aspects and core built-in
193          functions.
194        - Fixed thread tests segfaulting on Linux.
195        - NKSP: Added real number test cases for built-in functions exit(),
196          int_to_real(), real(), real_to_int() and int(), as well as for the
197          plus, minus and negate language operators.
198        - Added massive amount of NKSP test cases for standard measuring units and
199          'final' operator usage cases.
200        - Added NKSP test cases for (floating point tolerance aware) real number
201          equalness / unequalness comparison.
202        - Added NKSP int array and real array tests for value assignment and
203          initialization of arrays.
204        - Added NKSP test cases for built-in functions "round()", "ceil()",
205          "floor()", "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()",
206          "sin()", "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
207    
208    Version 2.1.1 (27 Jul 2019)
209    
210      * Real-time instrument scripts:
211        - Fixed behavior of built-in NKSP functions change_sustain(),
212          change_cutoff_attack(), change_cutoff_decay(), change_cutoff_sustain()
213          and change_cutoff_release().
214    
215      * general changes:
216        - Only play release trigger samples on sustain pedal up if this behaviour
217          was explicitly requested by the instrument (otherwise only on note-off).
218        - Fixed compiler warnings.
219        - Fixed compilation error when cross-compiling to Mac.
220        - FX Sends: Provide more useful error messages on routing problems
221          (see bug #169).
222        - LSCP doc: Be more clear describing the two distinct approaches
223          of using external vs. internal effects (see bug #169).
224        - "optional" class: Fixed comparison operators.
225    
226      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
227        - Format extension: If requested by instrument then don't play release
228          trigger sample on note-off events.
229    
230      * SFZ format engine:
231        - Fixed memory leak when releasing samples
232          (fixes bug #307, patch by Jacek Roszkowski)
233        - Fixed potential crash when a sample is shared by more than one region
234          (fixes bug #308, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
235        - Opcode 'sample': Added support for built-in sample '*silence'
236          (fixes bug #310, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
237    
238    Version 2.1.0 (25 Nov 2017)
239    
240      * SFZ format engine:
241        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
242        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
243        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
244          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
245        - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
246        - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
247        - sfz parser: allow missing space between header and opcode
248    
249      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
250        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
251          cutoff settings.
252        - Got rid of resembling an ancient GSt misbehavior which did not pitch at
253          all if an up-pitch of more than 40 semi tones was requested (I don't
254          think there is any stock gig sound that requires this behavior to
255          resemble its original sound).
256        - Added support for controlling whether the individual EGADSR stages may
257          be aborted (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4
258          format).
259    
260      * general changes:
261        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
262        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
263        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
264          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
265        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
266          position within a list.
267        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
268          a raw element pointer.
269        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
270          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
271          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
272          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
273        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
274          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
275          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
276          script features.
277        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
278          (CC #64) events.
279        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
280          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
281        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
282          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
283          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
284        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
285          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
286        - Added new C++ API method
287          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
288        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
289          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
290        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
291        - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
292        - Revised fundamental C++ classes "Thread", "Mutex" and "Condition" which
293          fixes potential undefined behavior.
294        - Fixed Note object leak when triggering notes on keys which did not
295          have a valid sample mapped (fixes bug #252).
296        - Fixed compilation errors when compiling with CONFIG_DEVMODE enabled.
297        - linuxsampler binary fix: option --create-instruments-db ignored
298          subsequent optional argument due to glibc's implementation oddity
299          which expects a "=" sign, but no space between them.
300    
301      * packaging changes:
302        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
303          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
304        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
305          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
306        - Debian: Fixed packaging error about invalid "Source-Version"
307          substitution variable.
308        - Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch".
309        - Debian: Added build dependency to libsqlite3-dev for building
310          linuxsampler with instruments DB support.
311    
312      * Real-time instrument scripts:
313        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
314        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
315          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
316          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
317        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
318          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
319          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
320          microseconds.
321        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
322          potentially causing undefined behavior.
323        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
324          variable.
325        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
326          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
327          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
328        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
329        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
330          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
331          script editor applications.
332        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
333        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
334          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
335          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
336        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
337          editor.
338        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
339          like "on note end on".
340        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
341        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
342        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
343        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
344        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
345        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
346        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
347          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
348          "event_status()" function.
349        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
350          and ".not.".
351        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
352          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
353        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
354        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
355          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
356          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
357        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
358        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
359        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".

364        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
365          associative instead of left (to right).
366        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
367          (i.e. "if end if").
368        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
369        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
370        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
371        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
372        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively

382        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
383          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
384          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
385          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
386          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
387          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).

392        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
393          was loaded.
394        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
395          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
396          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
397          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
398        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
399          threatening scripts.
400        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
401        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an

414          script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
415          "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
416          "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
417          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
418        - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
419          of its possible parameter selections.
420        - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
421          of its possible parameter selections.
422        - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
423        - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
424        - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
425          built-in function "ignore_controller()".
426        - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
427        - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
428        - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
429          intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
430          "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
431          assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
432          timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
433          changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
434          relevant).
435         - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
436         - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
437         - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".
438         - NKSP Fix: Never suspend "init" event handlers.
439         - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
440           available for gig format engine).
441         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
442         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
443         - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
444         - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
445         - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
446           offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
447           sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
448         - Built-in array variable %KEY_DOWN[] is now a read-only variable.
449         - Built-in variable $EVENT_NOTE is now a read-only variable.
450         - Built-in variable $EVENT_VELOCITY is now a read-only variable.
451         - built-in "play_note()" function now accepts -2 for its fourth argument
452           (note duration) which means the life time of the note shall be sticked
453           to the requested note number of argument 1.
454         - Fix: built-in "play_note()" function now returns 0 as result value if
455           -1 was passed for its fourth argument (note duration) and the respective
456           parent note is already gone.
457        - Implemented built-in script function "change_play_pos()".
458        - NKSP language: Added support for user declared const array variables.
459        - NKSP language: Raise parser warning if array variable is accessed with
460          an index that exceeds the array's size.

462        - NKSP language: Added support for "synchronized .. end synchronized"
463          code blocks.

466        - Fixed potential memory access bug and potential undefined behavior of
467          "init" event handlers.
468        - Print a time stamp along to each call of built-in function "message()".
469        - ScriptVM API: Added VMParserContext::preprocessorComments() which allows
470          to retrieve all code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor.
471        - Added built-in script function "fork()".
472        - Added built-in array variable %NKSP_CALLBACK_CHILD_ID[].
473        - Added built-in variable $NKSP_CALLBACK_PARENT_ID.
474        - Fixed potential crash when accessing dynamic built-in array variables.
475        - Added built-in script function "callback_status()".
476        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_TERMINATED.
477        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_QUEUE.
478        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_RUNNING.
479        - Removed max. value limitation of built-in functions "change_attack()",
480          "change_decay()" and "change_release()" to i.e. allow passing 2000000
481          for doubling the respective time.
482        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: Fixed app termination due
483          to a lexer start condition stack underrun.
484        - NKSP preprocessor: Fixed wrong behavior on nested USE_CODE_IF() and
485          USE_CODE_IF_NOT() preprocessor statements.
486        - NKSP: Added built-in preprocessor condition NKSP_NO_MESSAGE, which
487          can be set to disable all subsequent built-in "message()" function calls
488          on preprocessor level.
489        - Implemented built-in script function "change_sustain()".
490        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: catch all fatal lexer errors,
491          to avoid the editor app to crash on ill-formed text input.
492        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_time()".
493        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_curve()".

504        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
505        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument

518          doing "make dist"
519        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
520        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
521        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
522        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
523        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
524          directories are separate
525        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
526          configure
527        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
528        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
529        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions

545        - support building with older jack versions
546        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
547        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
548          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
549          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
550    
551      * general changes:
552        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
553          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
554        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
555          respective profiling code is currently broken
556        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
557          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
558          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
559          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
560        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
561        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
562        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
563          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
564          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
565          effect type is)
566        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
567          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
568          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
569          effect type is)
570        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
571        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
572          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
573        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
574        - experimental support for per voice equalization
575        - added command line option --exec-after-init
576        - Introduced new C++ API method:
577          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
578          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
579          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
580          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
581          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
582        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
583        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
584        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
585        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
586        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
587        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
588          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
589          series (#182)
590        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
591          used it everywhere appropriate
592        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
593        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
594          SysEx way).
595        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
596          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
597          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
598        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
599        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
600          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
601          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
602          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
603          backward compatibility).
604        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
605          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
606        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
607        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
608          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
609        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
610        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
611        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
612        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
613          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
614          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
615          used so far).
616        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
617          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
618          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
619          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
620    
621      * Gigasampler format engine:
622        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
623        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
624          dimension zones is not a power of two
625        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
626          key
627        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
628        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
629        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
630          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
631        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
632          min value
633        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
634          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
635        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
636        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
637        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
638          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
639        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
640    
641      * SFZ format engine:
642        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)

647        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
648        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)

656        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
657        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
658        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
659        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
660        - added support for transpose
661        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
662        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
663        - added more v1 aliases to parser
664        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
665        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
666        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
667        - optimized sample lookup
668        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
669          off_mode)
670        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
671        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
672        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
673        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
674        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
675          not set in sfz file
676        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
677          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,
678          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,
679          cutoff_cc, cutoff_chanaft.
680        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work
681        - added support for velocity effect on amplifier envelope time
682          (ampeg_vel2attack, ampeg_vel2decay, ampeg_vel2sustain and
683          ampeg_vel2release)
684        - added support for EG hold (ampeg_hold)
685        - added support for sample offset (offset)
686        - use the newly introduced signal units model

820          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
821        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
822        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
823          64 bit Windows

878        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
879        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
880          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
881        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
882        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
883    
884      * audio driver:

1030        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
1031        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
1032          (#176)
1033        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
1034        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
1035        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
1036        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
1037          introduced in previous fix)
1038        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
1039          playing a note in a key group
1040        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
1041          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
1042        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
1043          crashes and noise on such transitions).
1044        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
1045          (fixes #208)
1046        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
1047          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
1048          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
1049          shell's auto completion feature).
1050        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
1051          after each other (fixes #231).
1052    
1053    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
1054    
1055      * packaging changes:
1056        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
1057          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
1058          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
1059          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
1060        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
1061        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
1062        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
1063        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
1064        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
1065        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
1066        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
1067        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
1068          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
1069          directory above)
1070        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
1071        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
1072        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
1073        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
1074    
1075      * general changes:
1076        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
1077          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
1078          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
1079        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
1080          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
1081        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
1082        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
1083          unnecessarily long after an update
1084        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
1085          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
1086          of gigedit)
1087        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
1088        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
1089        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
1090          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
1091          implementation, which is usually faster)
1092        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
1093        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
1094          VST plugin
1095        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
1096          only when there are actual changes
1097        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
1098          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
1099        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
1100        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
1101        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
1102          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
1103          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
1104        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
1105          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
1106        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
1107          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
1108          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
1109          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
1110        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
1111          model more strictly
1112        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
1113        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
1114          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
1115          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
1116        - updated linuxsampler man page
1117    
1118      * audio driver:
1119        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
1120          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
1121        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
1122          opposed to the LSCP specs
1123        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
1124          reflected the wrong value
1125        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
1126        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
1127        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
1128          jack_client_new
1129        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
1130        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
1131          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
1132          (fixes #117)
1133        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
1134          win64)
1135        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
1136        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
1137        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
1138        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
1139          energyXT)
1140        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
1141          stereo
1142        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
1143          stored in the plugin state
1144        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
1145          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
1146          (if available)
1147        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
1148          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
1149    
1150      * MIDI driver:
1151        - added JACK MIDI driver
1152        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
1153          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
1154          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
1155        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
1156          CoreMidi or AU
1157        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
1158        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
1159          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
1160        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
1161    
1162      * instruments database:
1163        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
1164          to the instruments database
1165        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
1166        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
1167          in the instruments database
1168          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
1169        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
1170          instrument database compilable
1171        - added instrument database support on Windows
1172          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
1173          the instruments DB file is located in
1174          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
1175          databases for each windows user
1176          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
1177          and then creates an empty DB
1178        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
1179    
1180      * Gigasampler format engine:
1181        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
1182          while notes were playing
1183        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
1184          isn't running
1185        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
1186          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
1187        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
1188          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
1189        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
1190          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
1191          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
1192          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
1193          on)
1194        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
1195          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
1196          be played
1197        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
1198          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
1199          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
1200          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
1201          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
1202          defined for the sampler
1203        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
1204          audio thread isn't running
1205        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
1206        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
1207          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
1208          sampler engine anymore
1209        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
1210          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
1211        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
1212          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
1213          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
1214        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
1215          instrument-level gig parameters
1216        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
1217        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
1218        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
1219        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
1220        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
1221          note was silent
1222        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
1223          same time a new instrument was loading
1224    
1225      * LSCP server:
1226        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1227          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
1228          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1229        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1230          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
1231          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1232        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
1233          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
1234        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
1235          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
1236        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
1237          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
1238        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
1239          was incorrect
1240        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
1241        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
1242          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
1243          be triggered respectively
1244        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
1245          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
1246          which will be triggered respectively
1247        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
1248          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
1249        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
1250        - hard close of all sockets on exit
1251        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
1252          driver
1253    
1254      * Bug fixes:
1255        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
1256          to start instrument loading after another channel
1257        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
1258          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
1259        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
1260          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
1261        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
1262        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
1263          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
1264          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1265          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
1266          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1267        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
1268        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
1269        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
1270          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
1271        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
1272        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
1273          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
1274        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
1275          plugin was unloaded
1276        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
1277          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
1278        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
1279          Windows
1280    
1281    
1282    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
1283    
1284      * packaging changes:
1285        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
1286        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
1287          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
1288        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
1289    
1290      * general changes:
1291        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
1292          editor closed
1293        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
1294          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
1295          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
1296          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
1297        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
1298          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
1299          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
1300          bugs.
1301        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
1302          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
1303          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
1304          unaligned 32bit read and shift
1305        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
1306          output via ASIO)
1307        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
1308        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
1309          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1310          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
1311    
1312      * AUDIO driver:
1313        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
1314    
1315      * MIDI driver:
1316        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
1317    
1318      * LSCP server:
1319        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1320          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1321          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1322        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1323          apostrophes as well
1324        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1325          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1326          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1327          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
1328          running on
